Hello,
I cannot confirm anything without examination but it can be due to balanitis. Oral course of antibiotics is needed. In addition, please don’t use any cosmetics on the penis, instead use some topical antimicrobials like Bacitracin or Lotrimin. Also corticosteroids and topical immunosuppressants can be used but they are available under prescription. Also retract the foreskin daily and soak in warm water to clean penis and foreskin. In case the symptoms persist then please consult a urologist/dermatologist for evaluation and antimicrobials and steroids prescription.
I sincerely hope that helps. Take care.

I'm going to contact administration and have them transfer this post to urology, I am sure they'll have some advice for you. (This is a forum for pelvic organ prolapse.)

Good luck, I hope you get the information you need soon!
